Wild Turkeys and Dancing Banana Heads Cruise 11/25/06

[woogal]

Good morning, Banana Heads

Of course we know the "trivia" ... The Buggles, "Video Killed the Radio Star", first video to be played on MTV, August 1, 1981 at midnight. Duh! In fact, my household had MTV from the first day it was on the air! Of course, I was only like ... um ... 3 at the time ...

Trey: You've done it ... brought up the absolute worst song of the 80s, and one of the worst videos. And the funny thing is, until Tonya posted that, I never knew the lyrics! BTW, Ferris Bueller was on last night .

Denise, it looks like we may not get Mutt up on stage with Wally (however, he did belt out a little bit of "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin for me this morning ). So I think we need to do some more recruiting. I'm sure BOB will help, but also let's get some of the guys we haven't heard from yet to back them up ... Greg, Don, Bill, Brian, Brendon, Steve & Steve, Stony, Trey, Bruce, Mike, both Daves, Andy, Rick, Ron, Andrew ... yeah, we got a whole chorus going on now, ladies! Maybe they can all do a male version of "Addicted to Love" ... you remember that video, dontcha?

Jan, I remember the original MMC, but I'm sure it was in repeats by the time I saw it ... Annette, Bobby, Roy (what WAS his purpose, anyway? ), Jimmie, Darlene ...

 

[TiggerKing]

Okay, so Kelly and Shell both got the answer. Now, for the prize......What was the SECOND music video played on MTV? Can you do it without using the net?

And Trey brought up one of my absolute favorite songs of the 80s, not the worst, like Shell seems to think. We all know that the worst song of the 80s was "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" by Wham.

Hope everyone is having a great day. It is starting out beautiful here in Atlanta. Just cooked breakfast for DW and now we relax before the big game! Okay, it isn't such a big game, but it is football, and we will be there!

Good Morning Nana Heads,
It is a beautiful day here in NY. I got sleep last night !!Today we are going out to dinner just me and DH. My mom is coming to babysit !!! I am really looking forward to it. DS slept very good last night. I think it might have been the Tylenol because everytime we give it to him he is up all night. Well everyone have a great weeekend!!

Shell: The list looks great!! It's getting longer and longer which is great!!

TiggerKing: I hope you are right that this is preparing me for alot of partying on the cruise

Wendy: I am 25 years old and still call my dad- daddy!! Glad to hear your dad is going better!!!

Hey Bob thats the ring tone on my cell

 

[sptweedle]

Come on guys, I can't believe no one has mentioned this one yet...
Hey Mickey you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey
Now talk about the worst song of the '80's.

Or how about, "Sunglasses at Night", you know you are all going "I wear my sunglasses at night, so I can, so I can, daa daa da daaa..."

Now that's bad music.

Hey Mutt, making that Def Leppard concert sound better and better ain't we?

Steve

 

[sptweedle]

Oooh, oooh, oooh!

Got another one how about this one, and it certainly applies...

"She dashed by me in painted on jeans
And all heads turned 'cause she was the dream
In the blink of an eye I knew her number and her name yeah
Ah she said I was the tiger she wanted to tame..."

That's right ladies and gentleman,

"Caribbean Queen, now were sharing the same dream,
And our hearts they beat as one,
No more love on the run"

Gotta love it

Steve

I was thankful for the 80s! Disco ruled when i was in HS so when I got to college and could listen to bands like Styx & the Eagles, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I even don't mind many of these "bad songs" you all are talking about. Now don't even get me started on the Bee Gees and the rest of the Sat Night Fever soundtrack.

We are also joining everyone on the Sunny tour in St. Thomas. I emailed directly with Sunny who told me that it is fine for kids so we're in.

 

[cruisemutt]

Ok....UNCLE!! I give up! Mercy...mercy...pu-leaseeee??? I grant you the fact that most of us have lovely memories of the 80's. Its just really sad for me that my renaissance(sp?) in music is about 10-15 years behind. My music match jukebox is now filled with Alice in Chains, STP and Foo Fighters. I still pull out the Motley Crue and Ratt from time to time but my new "friends" scream down the highway with me now.

Go Buckeyes!
(this is gonna be a tough one for us)

Jeff, glad to hear you will be joining us. Sonny may not know what he is getting himself into.

As far as music, I may just start work on an 80's compilation CD for the cruise meet!

 

[cruisemutt]

almost forgot....With all of us doing the Sunny Liston tour...he should be rich beyond the dreams of Avarice...I wonder if he'll retire and move to an island in the cari------oh, yeah... never mind.

btw...Shell says, without looking at the web her guesses are Pat Benatar or Rod Stewart....how'd she do?

 

[TiggerKing]

Okay, another note on music. EVERY time I put my helmet on to get on the motorcycle, I instantly start hearing Molly Hatchet's "Flirtin' With Disaster" running through my head. I typically have to go through the entire song one time before it disappears! And then, I will often break into Tom Cochrane's "Life is a Highway". (Hey Mutt, is there a motorcycle riding banana?)

Yes, I have a warped sense of music! I often say that my 300+ cds span from Amadeus Mozart to ZZ Top, and everything in between!

 

[woogal]

Talk about the 80's ... "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" is on right now on the USA network. "Hey, Dude ... let's party!"

Bob, what Bill was trying to say on his last post is that my guess -- without looking it up anywhere -- for 2nd video played on MTV was either Pat Benatar or Rod Stewart.

 

[JanDave]

I'll have to email Sunny to warn him about us Nana Heads. Looks like us DISers are going to fill up his van.

DH is getting ready to head to the MSU stadium.

For you first time DCl cruisers, you'll love the 70s night at Rockin Bar D........

Jan

 

[Dixielady908]

Morning all..... I would love to join in on your 80's flashback but I'm just too darn old. Ok, not that old....but old enough not to know a lot of this stuff.


Just got back from work. Not much going on here. Wally and son are doing the lawn...yay...I'm missed having to help

Have a great day and talk with you all later.

Denise

Oh quick questions...I am making reservations on Monday....how do I book for all the other people in my party? Do I need there reservations numbers? Sorry, I'm a cruising virgin.

 

[mom x4 grandma x4]

Denise,
you will need reservation numbers, not sure if that is all, because DH does all the reservations, but I do know he needed at least the reservation numbers to do that.
I'm with you on not really knowing much about 80's music, but if I reveal the era for my music , it would really reveal my age!!! I'm beginning to feel like we have a bunch of youngsters on this cruise at least compared to me.

Have a great weekend everyone,
DH is giving Minnie her first walking on a leash lesson. We will see who has the strongest will power

Kathy

 

[cruisemutt]

my condolences, Kathy....make sure you have a glass of iced tea for dh and a treat for Minnie...I'm putting my money on the pup.

have a great afternoon....

 

[Dixielady908]

Yes Kathy, I agree with Bill....Minnie will most likely win out.
However, tell Greg to be strong and be alpha....he is the leader of the pack...now just convience Minnie of this

Wally and I gave both dogs a bath today. So they are clean and shinny and smell like wet dogs... Some cleaning in the kitchen then I'm going to watch the Magic Sail and then get dinner cooked.....Pork chops on the grill
yummy....


Later
Denise

 

[cruisemutt]

Hey Denise...you have any extra grilled pork chops lying around??? (having a mutt to dinner is good luck in almost every civilized country--'cept North Korea, I believe). wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say-na-more, say-na-more....I'll keep the dogs occupied for you for awhile!

Well, I bought another tropical shirt for the cruise today--I believe DW has turned me into a....a....oh, fiddle-faddle, she's domesticated me!!!! I should be out getting chili dogs and beer on saturday afternoon with the fellas! I'll just wait for Bob and Wendys swift and vicious reprisals.....(and anyone else that can think of anything on the topic).
Ok...time to get ready for dinner...I think maybe some mexican food to go with my mexican radio!

Enjoy!

You and my DH are really going to hit it off. He's a music junkie...pretty muc anything and everything (with the exception of country - sorry if I offended anyone! - that's him not me!)
His best friends wife still talks about when they were in high school at the beach and as soon as a note or 2 would play on the radio DH would know what song it was and usually what album it was off of.

Kelly

 

[dkmjgal]

Ok here's our guess on the 2nd video "Pop Music" ???
